Hook
“Another round of whoops and hollering Coach Spangler waited again looking down at the floor, as if he were weighed down by something heavy and dark.’ Now you’re going to work even harder than last year to do it- because unfortunately I won’t be able to be here with you.’ A gasp went up from the stunned players. Tiki felt like he’d been suddenly punched in the gut.” (Page 22)
Recommendation
Have you ever loved a coach and the next year he’s gone? Unfortunately Tiki and Ronde Barber have. Now that their coach has left, they don’t know what to do. Especially when their new coach is Tiki’s old science teacher. Coach Wheeler has them watch videos to help them win games. Tiki knows how much they help, but the rest of the team can’t take him seriously. They would rather go outside and practice. Read this book to find out if they can make it to the championships without the coach they love.
WARNING: This is a football book so if you don’t know what football is, I’d advise you not to read this book.
